#42Awesome. I see you're from Houston, which makes me smile. In a world of high speed Internet and amazing cloud options, it's funny that there's a handful of "startup epicenters".

#43Why would you not make this video viewable outside of US? tsk tsk...
I think the video is from elsewhere.

#44Hey, great work. We're adding panoramas at http://cheergram.com very soon. I like the niche printing business and I think there's definitely demand. 3 Things: My biggest issue with the site is that you don't show the final product anywhere. It should really be the hero of your home page (where that little dude with the chalkboard is). Even if you don't have one printed yet, make a fake print+frame in Photoshop (not h…
Hey, one advise for you at Cheergram. It would be great to be able to pick pictures from other users than myself. I want to make a print with both my photos and my girlfriend's mixed together but couldn't.

#45The photo of the "studio" at the bottom looks like a large industrial space, not the "founder's basement". If that's not really a picture of this company, it's a bit misleading to have it on the web site. Also, a single-person operation isn't usually called a "team". And while it's impressive that a college student can run a successful business, it's possible that emphasizing this on the web site might scare away pot…
And, it looks like you Really Like Chuck Close.

#48Great start here, I like what you've done. Some feedback for improvement: 1) I would break the page up into multiple pages. Keep the homepage simple and let the user click ancillary links if they need to. 2) It says the printing is done in the founders basement, but shows a picture of a printing warehouse. Is your basement a printing warehouse? Honestly not sure here. 3) The textures are distracting, I'd tone them do…
I second the textures. I think the single page is fine though.
The FAQs are hard to read because the line height is the same for everything.
Agree with another comment that says the end product needs to be shown. I don't care how you create the product or what printer you use, just that the end product looks great.
Great idea and good luck.

#49Clean. Very clean and easy.
Quick Bug: (Chrome on OS X, haven't checked elsewhere)for your modal (specifically modal.fade.in in bootstrap.css line 5004) you have "top:50%", which causes the very top of the modal to be cut off. Simply bumping it to 60% fixed it. Don't know if anybody else is having this same problem.
Best of luck to you!

#50Good product. Has potential in the right markets. This is something I've touched before, and it makes a fair amount of money. Which market are you aiming for? Also, publish an API for this. You can get a lot of business with a photo printing API. Don't ask how I know... ;)
Thanks! I'm going for the mass consumer market. I think this product will definitely be aimed best at the young professional who wants to decorate a living space and who is somewhat tech-savvy. What markets did you have success with out of curiosity? Also I have no clue how to do an api lol
Drew,
Good job with launching this. I'm curious to know how you are printing this - Do you have access to an existing printer (that's shown in the image), or did you actually build up those facilities yourself?
